Jeez! You’re pretty amazing in the kitchen!
When you cook and blog, how far in advance do you plan for what you are going to cook?

Thanks so much!

I plan all of our meals for the week ahead of time. We hate to waste food, so everything you see on the blog is always consumed in one way or another. I always try to work it into our meals. It works for me because I get bored quickly and don’t like to eat the same thing. This is just an example of how I loosely plan our meals: http://www.howsweeteats.com/2010/01/25/meal-planning-101/

When it comes to baked goods, I usually only make them when we are entertaining, or have a party to go to, which is pretty often, especially in the summer. For example, I’ve already made 3 treats this weekend for parties. If I make any sweets for just the 2 of us, I always 1/2 or 1/4 the recipe.

As for planning what to put on the blog, I really just wing each day. It just depends on what I’ve made. I never plan longer than a week in advance!

I’m with you on pasta dishes. I’ve never been a fan of pasta. My family had pasta nights too and I ended up making a sandwich.

Pasta is my favourite food! I love the flavour combinations in this creation.

I’m with you here- I don’t love pasta, potatoes, or rice as sides because I would rather save my carbs for chocolate. I do love some whole wheat pasta and pasta salad WITH veggies can be so refreshing in the summer. I saw that arugula in there, and I noted it!
